Toilet not Filling Properly

[Jaret Payne]

Recently my toilet sounded as if it was running so I opened it up and it appeared the water was not being filled from the rubber tube. When I turned the water off and back on the water began to fill correctly. I am attaching a picture.

that's a fluidmaster ballcock......under that black cap is a white arm and top it spins left or right....there is a rubber disc under that its called a fluidmaster #242 disc the one that's there now is probably wearing out

Is this where I should be looking. How do I remove this to get to the disc. Not the most handy with toilets why I am here. Thanks

I would suggest going to a big box and spending about $8 on a new fluid master fill valve. It takes about 10 minutes to install.

Yep, go get a new Fluidmaster.

here is what I am looking at

under that gray piece with the black arm is the fluidmaster disc......shut the water off in any case and replace that or the ballcock assembley it spins left or right to release that gray peice
